Last year we saw the erosion of free and fair collective bargaining rights for NSTU members throughout our labour struggle and with the passing of Bill 75. Now that Bill 148 has been proclaimed, Government has taken away that right for all public sector workers. We are working with our brothers and sisters affected by Bill 148, and on September 21, I joined public sector union leaders in a Solidarity Rally against Bill 148 in front of Province House. I was heartened to see the support of the RTO at this rally. We appreciate all you are doing in serving retired teachers and other retired NSTU members and your continued dedication in helping to send a signal to this government that all Nova Scotians deserve hon- esty and respect. We have many challenges ahead this school year and beyond, and know that we can count on the strength of the RTO and its members to fight for teaching and learning in this province.

  • Aims 6Th Annual High School Report Card (Rc6)
    AIMS 6TH ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL REPORT CARD (RC6) Nova Scotia High Schools Two years ago, a ruling by Nova Scotia’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Review Officer confirmed that the release of student achievement data was in the public interest. However, AIMS is still not able to report locally assigned exam grades or attendance in Nova Scotia schools, as some boards are still not able to access this information or simply refuse to do so. Following the closing of Queen Elizabeth High School in Halifax, last year’s top ranked school, we were assured a new school at the top of the rankings. Cape Breton Highlands Academy in Terre Noire jumped from third place in RC5 to take over the number one spot in the province, maintaining an ‘A-’ grade. Cape Breton Highlands was the only school in Nova Scotia to achieve an ‘A’ grade, with Charles P. Allen in Bedford also maintaining its ‘B+’ grade from last year to claim second spot in the rankings. Dalbrae Academy in Southwest Mabou saw its grade drop from an ‘A-’ to a ‘B+’ but still finished third overall. Several schools saw improvements of two grade levels. Rankin School of the Narrows and Pictou Academy-Dr. T. McCulloch School both improved from a ‘C+’ to a ‘B’ and finished eighth and ninth overall, respectively. Canso Academy (‘C’ to ‘B-’) and Annapolis West Education Centre (‘C’ to ‘B-’) also improved by two grade levels. Springhill Junior-Senior High School was the only school to see its grade decline more than two levels, falling from a ‘B-’ to a ‘C-’.

  • Le Projet D'innovation En Emploi Communautaire
    Le Projet d’innovation en emploi communautaire Conception et mise en œuvre John Greenwood Claudia Nicholson David Gyarmati Darrell Kyte Melanie MacInnis Reuben Ford SOCIÉTÉ DE RECHERCHE SOCIALE APPLIQUÉE Décembre 2003 Le Projet d’innovation en emploi communautaire (PIEC) est financé par Développement des ressources humaines Canada (DRHC) et par le ministère des Services communautaires de la Nouvelle-Écosse (MSC-NE). Les constatations et les conclusions présentées dans ce document ne reflètent pas nécessairement les positions ni les politiques officielles de DRHC ou du MSC-NE. La Société de recherche sociale appliquée est un organisme sans but lucratif et caritatif enregistré ayant des bureaux à Ottawa, Vancouver et Sydney (Nouvelle-Écosse). La SRSA a été créée dans le but précis d’élaborer, de mettre à l’essai sur le terrain et d’évaluer rigoureusement des programmes sociaux. Sa mission, qui comporte deux volets, consiste à aider les décideurs et les praticiens à déterminer les politiques et programmes sociaux qui améliorent le bien-être de tous les Canadiens, en se penchant particulièrement sur les effets qu’ils auront sur les personnes défavorisées, et à améliorer les normes relatives aux éléments probants utilisés pour évaluer les politiques sociales. En tant qu’organisation faisant office d’intermédiaire, la SRSA tente de jeter des passerelles entre les milieux de la recherche universitaire, les décideurs gouvernementaux et les responsables de programmes sur le terrain. La Société, qui fournit un outil pour l’élaboration et la gestion de projets pilotes complexes, cherche à collaborer étroitement avec les provinces, le gouvernement fédéral, les programmes locaux et les sociétés philanthropiques privées.
